Future of our girls is bright: Hasan Raheem finds 'new band' at Shehzad Roy's school

Collaboration between two singers, and girls at school underscores power of music and education

In a heartwarming display of talent and collaboration, renowned musician Shehzad Roy shared a clip on social media featuring Hasan Raheem, performing alongside the young students at Zindagi Trust's school. The video not only showcased the power of music education but also highlighted the transformative impact of initiatives like Zindagi Trust in nurturing young talent.

Roy, a vocal advocate for education reform in Pakistan, took to X to highlight how his introduction of chess as a subject in a government school, was met with scepticism encapsulated in the phrase, "'Chess is gambling." He shared, "I first heard this when I introduced chess as a subject in government school. Fast forward to today: Hasan Raheem has found his new band in the form of young girls of Zindagi Trust's adopted government school, the same school, where both chess and music are now school subjects."

The clip captures the essence of a thriving educational environment where the arts flourish. Roy's post reflects the pride of witnessing the fruition of his educational initiatives and the blossoming talent within the school's walls. Raheem, visibly delighted in the video, is seen surrounded by a group of young girls who not only share his love for music but also display impressive musical prowess. Their harmonious performance, singing alongside Raheem, paints a picture of camaraderie and shared passion. The joy on the young singer's face is palpable, and Roy's presence in the video is akin to that of a proud mentor and father figure.

Raheem himself took to X to express his sentiments about the experience, stating, "Seeing these future leaders of Pakistan playing their instruments, cheerfully humming my song, Aisay Kaisay, made me realise that the future of our girls is shiny and bright. It was touching and emotional. Zindagi Trust, you have all my respect and love."
